I'm seriously thinking about creating a tool called "Interiot's Reddit Counter" that's similar
It's similar to the Metareddit Stalk tool, but generates more statistics:
- count the frequency of URLs that they post (BOTH in comments AND in link submissions), to try to
identify websites that they have a vested interest in
- count the frequency of posting to various subreddits
- also, unlike MetaredditStalk, it should provide a link that lets you see their posts to
that specific subredit [1]
- count the frequency of upvotes/downvotes to their links+comments in various subreddits
Use this to estimate the affinity for each subreddit (just because they post in a subreddit
doesn't directly indicate if they're a supporter or a detractor).
- use subreddit-groups to estimate the affinity to various topics

Apparently they don't do any sort of scraping limiter:
